Supporting your practice
Once you have been approved by the Medical Advisory Committee, we’ll invite you back to the hospital to meet with the Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing. We’ll discuss your preferences for theatre list times, and any requirements to configure the equipment or operating theatres to suit your procedures.
Our goal is to ensure every aspect of your practice management and patient care is seamless. So we will also work with your practice manager to ensure our processes can be integrated into their workflows. We encourage your staff to visit our hospital to see and experience the patient journey first hand.
